Now through Saturday 12/4
Art: Maia Cruz Palileo
Curated by Kim Nguyen, this exhibition features paintings and sculptures from multi-disciplinary, Brooklyn-based artist, Maia Cruz Palileo, inspired by historic Filipiniana stories, portraits, and images, fused with Palileo’s memories and family tales. The exhibit stems from research Palileo conducted at the Newberry Library in Chicago, which has one of the world’s largest collections of Filipiniana. Influenced by the oral history of a family’s arrival to the United States from the Philippines, as well as the history between the two countries, Palileo investigates larger questions pertaining to identity, migration, and concepts of time.
